"A woman's courage is different from a man's. We pillage and plunder. They endure. I don't pretend to understand it, but I suspect the race would die without their version of courage much sooner than it would without ours." So says Ian MacGregor to his older brother, Asher MacGregor, the Scottish Lord Balfour. Balfour's history is most unusual in that his father sired him while engaged in the fur trade business in Canada. Balfour lived there among his mother's people, became a physician, and returned home to Scotland to accept his title and family. He has agreed to sponsor a young American heiress in her stepfather's quest to find her a suitable match. Hannah Cooper has no intentions of marrying. She just wants to return to Boston to care for her grandmother, mother, and half brothers, even after she has fallen in love with Asher and he with her. This is most satisfying romance with a most pleasing ending.
"Sometimes there's nothing to do but love the best we can."
